Tulip Fostery King

Fostery King is a giant Darwin Hybrid Tulip variety that produces giant blooms on the top of 60cm tall stems. The flowers are a pretty scarlet colour with a golden base and look especially good as cut flowers for a vase. Ideal for borders or patio containers, whether planted alove or mixed with other varieties. Height 60cm. Flowers March to April. 11/12cm bulbs supplied.

Plant bulbs in well dug soil about 10cm deep and approx 15cm apart. It is often beneficial to use a little bonemeal or super phosphate mixed in with the soil. Tulips delight during their growth in a sunny location.

After the tulips have bloomed and when leaves fade and turn brown the bulbs can be lifted, dried, cleaned and stored in a cool place until planting time. Tulips should not be grown in the same soil for several years, so replace with fresh soil every other year.
